As a tribute to the many years Vanessa spent with the dance school, the Bluewater Dance Troupe, and the St. Clair Youth Ballet, the program page from the 2008 recital, honoured her memory.
In July of 2008, Annette and Lee Crawford held a group skydive, joined by family and friends, to honour her fun loving spirit.
As she had always enjoyed dancing in them, the 2008 recital ballet production, 'Beauty and The Beast' was dedicated to Vanessa's memory.
A special routine 'I Will Remember You' was choregoraphed by Kate Robb, and danced at the 2008 recital by Vanessa's fellow dancers and friends.
